#CPChatNow serves as an online support group for those with cerebral palsy and that support proved on full display last night. Anticipation for the night and our August focus chat announcement began in the afternoon.

With my co-host Blake Henry set to start college soon the night almost felt like a focus chat on college advice.

My question flooded Blake with advice.

The above provides just SOME college advice given out last night. Advice leaving us reminiscing about our own college experiences.

While yesterday felt like a college advice focus chat, our actual focus chat for the month takes place Wednesday, August 26th.

In preparation for our advocacy focus chat, let us play word association for this week’s Extend-the-Conversation question. Leave a comment sharing the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the term “advocacy.” 

Moving on, we did manage to talk about subjects besides college. We came together to squash self-doubt.

  Additionally we functioned as a resource for information.

All the support continues tonight when we at #CPChatNow host our August Google Hangout.

Direct message me on Twitter for the 101 on our Hangout’s standard operating practices. Remember to answer the Extend-the-Conversation question too. Leave a comment sharing the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the term “advocacy.” 

Join #CPChatNow Wednesday, August 26th when Words I Wheel By blogger Emily Ladau and our own Devin Axtman lead a discussion on advocacy.
